Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly announce GP stop

The Dropkick Murphys are shipping up to Grande Prairie for one night only.

Known for hit songs such as “I’m Shipping up to Boston”, “Rose Tattoo”, “The Boys are Back” and more, the The Dropkick Murphys, a Celtic punk band, are performing in Grande Prairie on September 18.

The show, at Revolution Place, is being co-headlined by Flogging Molly, another Celtic punk rock. They’re known for hit songs such as “Drunken Lullabies” and “Devil’s Dance Floor”.

“Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly – two giants of American punk rock that share a working class ethos, an Irish heritage and Celtic folk influence – just wrapped the initial leg of their first-ever co-headlining tour, celebrating over 20 years of mayhem, and are preparing to return to the road in September for more shows together,” a release stated.

“Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys received widespread praise from fans and the media during this historic run of shows. Brooklyn Vegan called the tour, ‘…one hell of a double bill of Celtic punk… [June 17, 2018].’ Elsewhere, Omaha World-Herald called the two bands ‘…collectively the pinnacle of a genre that mixes up punk rock and Irish folk, raging guitars and tin whistle, head-banging beats and bagpipes [June 11, 2018].’

Tickets for the show are available through www.dropkickmurphys.com and www.floggingmolly.com.
